Independent music forces Love Ghost and Notions have teamed up to drop their raw, genre-bending collaborative single, “Dark City.” The track is fully self-produced and self-mixed, immersing the listener in a heavy atmospheric world of suspense and mystery. There is also an official music video for the single, which is visually striking and brings to life the unsettling, crime-ridden backdrop of the song.
Inside the Track: A Descent Into Psych Tension
Dark City is about a narrator walking through a crumbling, dilapidated city with strange people haunted by his own inner demons. Instead of settling into one comfortable sound, the record seamlessly fuses alternative rock, grunge, and metalcore with heavy trap and hip-hop cadences.
The collab is another massive milestone for the Los Angeles-bred outfit Love Ghost who have toured across four continents and were featured on Germany’s iconic Rockpalast broadcast. Love Ghost has demonstrated their collaborative versatility on huge stages like the LA Vans Warped Tour with Wiplash and has established an unbreakable bridge to the Latin alternative scene with high-profile tracks with Mexican innovators like Adan Cruz, Santa RM, Blnko, and Rayben. With “Dark City,” Love Ghost and Notions have successfully crafted a memorable musical identity that is an essential add for heavy alternative and dark trap playlists worldwide.
